Manual Install

To integrate Sentry into your Xcode project using pre-compiled frameworks, follow these steps:

1. Download the latest version of the SDK from the Sentry Cocoa Releases page.

2. Each release contains the following framework options:

   Sentry (Swift / standard Objective-C):

   • Sentry.xcframework.zip — Static framework (recommended)
   • Sentry-Dynamic.xcframework.zip — Dynamic framework
   • SentrySwiftUI.xcframework.zip — Deprecated. SwiftUI tracking is now included in the main Sentry framework.
   • Sentry-WithoutUIKitOrAppKit.xcframework.zip — Static framework without UIKit or AppKit linking and related features

   SentryObjC (pure Objective-C interface):

   • SentryObjC-Static.xcframework.zip — Static framework (recommended)
   • SentryObjC-Dynamic.xcframework.zip — Dynamic framework

3. Import the chosen framework into your Xcode project target.

Usage Guidelines

• Use Sentry-Dynamic, Sentry, or Sentry-WithoutUIKitOrAppKit independently. Only one of these should be included in your project at a time.
• SentrySwiftUI is deprecated. If you still use it, it must be combined with Sentry-Dynamic.
• Use SentryObjC when you need a pure Objective-C interface — no Swift headers, no semantic imports (@import), no -Swift.h. This is recommended for Objective-C++ projects or projects with Clang modules disabled. Each SentryObjC framework embeds the full Sentry SDK, so do not link both Sentry and SentryObjC in the same target. See SentryObjC for more details.
• When using SentryObjC-Static.xcframework in a pure Objective-C target, additional linker flags are needed for the C++ standard library and Swift runtime — see the SentryObjC-Static build settings for the full flags.
• When your project has Clang modules disabled or uses Objective-C++ (.mm files), you must link system frameworks explicitly (e.g., -framework UIKit -framework Foundation in Other Linker Flags) and use #import instead of @import — see Clang Modules Disabled / Objective-C++.
